Netherworld Messenger

The Law Enforcement Guard, surrounded by Yue Qianchou, were being harassed by the ever-growing swarm of flying swords. Liu Mu Lianqiu's face was grim; he wished he could capture Yue Qianchou on the spot. However, he knew in his heart that the targets of law enforcement and punishment did not include people with powerful backgrounds like Yue Qianchou. It was only good for scaring ordinary cultivators; if he acted rashly, the consequences would be beyond his ability to bear.

Some things are understood by everyone, and it's all about saving face for each other. However, people like Yue Qianchou completely disregard common sense, causing trouble time and time again, and treating the rules of the Treasure Gathering Basin as utter nonsense.

The image of strict law enforcement that Mu Lianqiu had painstakingly built for the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce was ruined in an instant. He blatantly tore off the fig leaf of strict law enforcement, letting everyone see the ugly face behind it. What rules? It's just bullying the weak. When they encounter someone powerful, they immediately show their true colors.

Yue Qianchou had always despised these ridiculous rules, let alone now.

Two thousand azure flying swords hovered in the air, a truly magnificent sight. No one present had ever seen anyone control so many flying swords simultaneously; they were all dumbfounded, secretly marveling at how the number one expert below the Spirit Transformation stage was indeed formidable!

Actually, this wasn't even the limit of what Yue Qianchou could control. He had tried it at the Ascension Platform. With his current cultivation at the early Tribulation stage, he could easily control three thousand flying swords at the same time. However, it seemed that he couldn't control them stably enough for combat. He could only control two thousand flying swords with ease.

A gleaming azure flying sword hovered in the sky, forming a massive azure halo. Yue Qianchou murderous intent, sat at the center, his cold gaze sweeping across the surroundings. He was truly enraged, utterly furious. His robes billowed without wind, fluttering wildly, his murderous aura unbridled and unrestrained.

Today, he almost lost everything. Yan Zhuixing's Devil Cultivation Method of celebrities deeply troubled him. If he wasn't eliminated before Xiao Yan gained power, Yue Qianchou be restless and unable to eat or sleep. The enmity between them was unlikely to be resolved; a life-or-death struggle was inevitable sooner or later. If he gained power, it was obvious who would suffer.

What Yue Qianchou resented most was that those seven pots of blood orchids could very well greatly benefit Yan Zhuixing's Devil Cultivation Method, and yet he had personally given them to him.

Black Pool Palace, a streak of black light swept in, transforming into the cold and noble Madam Black Pool. However, beneath that noble demeanor lay an uncontrollable rage; though she tried to suppress it, it was clear to others that she was in a bad mood.

Trailing her long skirt, she ascended the high throne in the center of the hall. Her phoenix eyes swept over the maids on either side who dared not approach, realizing she had shown her anger too much. After slowly calming herself, she called out, "Fei Feng..."

The female official Fei Feng walked to the back seat, bowed, and said, "Madam, what are your orders?"

Madam Black Pool said indifferently, "The Underworld Emperor has ordered me to send someone to the mortal realm to retrieve the lost Door Knocker Ring. Who do you think should be sent?"

Having lost all hope of escaping, she didn't want to get involved anymore. However, the Underworld Emperor gave her an order: even if it was just to appease him, she had to put on a show, otherwise it would be difficult to explain if the Underworld Emperor asked about it later.

Fei Feng bowed and said, "Since it was ordered by the Underworld Emperor, we should naturally send a capable and shrewd person to the task. Any commander of the Black Nether Army can do this job."

"Enough!" Madam Black Pool suddenly slammed her hand on the armrest of the back seat, her anger seemingly erupting from nowhere. Fei Feng immediately knelt down in fear and kowtowed, saying, "Fei Feng misspoke, please forgive me, Madam."

Madam Black Pool's somewhat disrespectful words were about to spill from her lips, but she forcibly suppressed them, glancing around to see if any of the Nether Emperor Palace's spies were present. Her face then hardened with a smile as she said, "You're not wrong, but the Black Nether Army bears the heavy responsibility of suppressing rebellions and maintaining stability in the Underworld. It cannot be easily mobilized; otherwise, if anything unexpected happens, I will be unable to explain myself to the Underworld Emperor."

"Yes, yes, yes, it was my oversight," Fei Feng kowtowed repeatedly. Inwardly, however, he wondered, "The Black Nether Army has tens of thousands of commanders; how could moving one of them possibly have any impact?"

Madam Black Pool laughed and said, "Besides, it's not worth using a commander-level expert in a mere mortal realm. Where's Green Brow? I haven't seen him in a long time."

"Last time, Green Brow displeased the Madam and was thrown into prison, "Fei Feng cautiously reminded her.

"Hmm! It's nothing. He's already been punished, release him!" Madam Black Pool waved her hand and said, "Tell him to come see me immediately."

Fei Feng accepted the order and left. Not long after, she returned with a tall, thin man with Green Brow and a pale face, dressed in green. As soon as he entered the palace gates, he rushed to the back of the palace and knelt down, sobbing, "Madam, this servant knows his sins! This servant knows his sins! This servant shouldn't have upset you!" His voice was shrill and high-pitched, sounding somewhat like a eunuch's.

"Alright! Stop crying, I forgive you. Come here, little one," Madam Black Pool smiled and beckoned. Green Brow immediately scrambled to the back seat, hugging Madam Blackpool's legs and gently massaging them. Looking up at her, he smiled through his tears and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Madam. Madam, you don't know, but if I don't see you for a day, I feel worse than dead. If Madam ever punishes me again, please don't lock me up; I simply can't bear that unbearable pain. I'd rather die than..."

Madam Black Pool chuckled at his words, her gloom dissipating considerably. She nodded and smiled, saying, "I understand your loyalty, so I have a lucrative task for you to undertake, as a reward for your devotion."

"No, I'm not going anywhere. Letting me leave Madam again is worse than death!" Green Brow grabbed Madam Black Pool's legs and wouldn't let go.

"Hmm?" Madam Black Pool's phoenix eyes immediately turned cold, and she said indifferently, "You dare disobey me?"

Green Brow was startled and quickly released his grip, kowtowing repeatedly and saying, "Madam, please give me any orders. I will gladly die for you." While flattery sounds nice, if it really came down to death, I'd be terrified. How could someone who's willing to sacrifice everything for survival not fear death?

That's right.

Madam Black Pool smiled again and said, "A Door Knocker Ring and two animal teeth from one of the gates to the Netherworld Gate in the Seventy-Two Realms Passage have been stolen. The Underworld Emperor ordered me to send someone to the mortal realm to retrieve them. Such a wonderful task, after much thought, I can only trust your loyalty. Green Brow, you will not disappoint me?"

Fei Feng glanced at him discreetly upon hearing this, but dared not say anything. She didn't know what the Madam was thinking. How could the Underworld Emperor entrust the task to a sycophantic male concubine? At least he should have been someone with profound cultivation!

Green Brow looked up at Madam Black Pool in disbelief. It was indeed a coveted position; what person living in the dark underworld wouldn't want to return to the human world and relive its splendor? But he knew his own limitations. Moreover, having been by her side for so long, he knew that she actually longed to travel to the human world. How could she give him such a wonderful opportunity? He simply couldn't understand it.

"What? You're not willing?" Madam Black Pool said in a deep voice.

"No, no," Green Brow waved her hands repeatedly, speaking cautiously, "It's just that this servant's cultivation is shallow, only at the mid-stage of the Nether Scholar realm. I'm afraid I might jeopardize the Netherworld Emperor's important affairs, and implicate the Madam in the process."

Cultivation levels in the underworld are also divided into four tiers: Nether Scholar, Underworld Saint, Underworld Venerable, and Underworld Emperor. Each tier is further divided into three levels. Even the top ghost cultivators in the mortal realm, those with the cultivation of a Ghost Saint, are considered insignificant in the underworld. At best, they are merely the elite among ghosts, not yet having reached the level of forging Nether Body. Only those who have forged Nether Body can traverse the three realms; otherwise, they dare not openly expose themselves to the scorching sun. The difference between them is immense.

"You're overthinking it," Madam Black Pool said dismissively. "In the mortal realm, even the top experts are only at the so-called late Spirit Transformation stage, which is far inferior to even the early-stage Nether Scholar. Your mid-stage Nether Scholar cultivation is more than enough to make you invincible in the mortal realm. What's there to be afraid of?"

Green Brow's eyes lit up. Having spent so long in the Underworld, how could she have forgotten? Although her cultivation level in the Underworld wasn't anything special, in the mortal realm, she would definitely be a top-tier expert! She chuckled sheepishly, "This servant is foolish; thank you for reminding me, Madam. This servant will certainly do her utmost to complete the task assigned to her by Madam."

Madam Black Pool glanced at him with a hint of envy, then secretly transmitted her voice, saying, "Go and take care of your business first. After you've finished, I'll allow you to stay in the mortal realm for half a month. Remember, write down anything interesting that happens, and tell me about it when you get back." After speaking, the little secret agent added seriously, "Go find Fei Feng! She'll tell you where to go."

Having received the secret decree, Green Brow smiled and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "This servant will certainly do his utmost to fulfill Madam's important request," before withdrawing.

In the Ghost King's Hall of Yin Feng Valley, Yu Ji and the others still haven't figured out what happened with the sudden change in the Nine Nether Cave last time. Since there were no adverse reactions after the incident, they gradually stopped paying attention to it, only harboring a lot of doubts.

Just as the ghost generals gathered to discuss matters, a fierce gust of yin wind suddenly blew up again outside the Ghost King's palace, plunging the outside world into darkness. Everyone was alarmed, and Yu Ji was the first to step out, leading a group of ghost generals back to the Nine Nether Cave. However, just as they landed, the violently blowing yin wind suddenly returned to normal, leaving everyone bewildered.

Deep within the Nine Nether Cave, behind Netherworld Gate more than a meter wide, a flash of green light appeared, and Green Brow suddenly materialized, surveying the surroundings. After the Netherworld Gate slowly closed behind him, he turned around, his gaze fixed on the spot missing a door knocker, and squeaked, "What audacity! Human cultivators seem to have a death wish. Daring to steal from the Netherworld Gate! Today, I, the venerable one, have descended to the mortal realm and will surely teach you a lesson!"

He wasn't just good at flattery and boasting; he actually had a responsible attitude when it came to getting things done, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stay under Madam Black Pool's thumb until now. Starting from the Netherworld Gate, his gaze searched for clues to the theft. However, after searching everywhere, he found nothing particularly noteworthy until he passed through the Netherworld Sea of Fire and landed at the cave entrance, where his gaze was drawn to some words on the cave wall.
